bigPRINT Initiative Launched to Contain Departmental Printing/Copying Costs

In an effort to help the university understand and contain escalating printing and copying costs university-wide, IT Services and Purchasing have coordinated a new program called the bigPRINT initiative. The objective is to leverage all office copying and printing to bring down costs and reduce the environmental impact through a new contractual relationship with Modern Office Methods (MOM) as the bigPRINT vendor.

The bigPRINT team will visit each department to assess what copying, printing and faxing services they currently use. The experts from MOM will discuss what changes could help the department save money or work more efficiently. The goal is to identify the best way to meet that department’s needs.

Cost savings will vary, depending on the choices that each department will make, but they can be significant. And, as a bonus, bigPRINT is dedicated to reducing the environmental impact of printing and copying. New equipment means less power consumption, two-sided copying (duplexing) will save paper, and a toner container recycling program means less waste.
